so many diff songs yet to be played toyed with in this jam! I heard slipknot and fotm!

I swear it sounds like you can hear angels singing towards the end of the jam.

I hear from 15 or so of Jam on Jerry playing Starship

Have you seen the stars tonight...
Isn't this like the end of Blows, Starship
What are you gonna do when you see your lady strolling...
Andromeda...

Brilliant jam! Amazing for a soundcheck.

In many ways I prefer this to the SBD. It doesn't have those harsh cuts and once the ear get accustomed, it's a very nice recording.

This was actually a sound check, a rehearsal, a freebie, or whatever you want to call it. I was there. The music was all supposed to be Saturday, the 28th, but by late afternoon Friday, there were probably already a quarter million people there, so the band decided to noodle around. I seem to remember the high points actually being higher than Saturday afternoon. Didn't Bobby somewhere say "you'll forgive us" for the laid back sound check nature of the set.

And if you want the epitome of the Dead, perhaps the highest point of that year for this fan, who's seen them hundreds of times, take a listen to the last six or seven minutes of "Jam" (right before Wharf Rat). When you look up Grateful Dead in the dictionary of rock and roll, that clip will likely play!

enough said...jam is great, bird song fun, good aud, special stuff

spak is right on.

not much else to say. i recommend it.

...given the crowded, muddy circumstances 32 years ago today. In fact, this stacks up well against the SBD in that the sound is both full, and adds some crowd reaction. It also doesn't have the harsh cuts in Bird Song, 1/2 Step, and the Big Jam present in the SBD. (Note: I haven't heard the Charlie Miller SBD version, just the other older one, on both cassette and SHN)

Judging by the patches using the other AUD version, this one sounds much better to my ears, and definitely deserves more attention than it's gotten (approx 160 directory views as of this review :( )...
